Here’s a closer look at the July Mystery/Suspense Peruse Book Club….

The It Girl

April Coutts-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford.

Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the second, April was dead.

Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide… including a murder.

Minimergency Kit: Ok….this is the cutest emergency kit ever, and it is PACKED full! I kind of want to get a few of these and give them to all my friends as gifts. This is a genius little product and will be perfect for the car.

Includes: adhesive bandage, double-sided tape, breath drops, mending kit, dental floss, clear nail polish, hair spray, extra buttons, emery board, lip balm, clear elastics, stain remover towelette, nail polish remover towelette, deodorant towelette, earring backs and safety pin.

Bath Bomb: Here we have a super cute Bio Glitter Bath Bomb from LA Suds. It goes with the theme of the book perfectly, and it smells so good! It is peach, coconut and pineapple.

Blonde Bombshell Chocolate: This chocolate bar looks super fun, fits the theme and sounds so good. It is dark chocolate, strawberries and champagne.

It Girl Sunglasses: Ok….I never thought I would be the girl to wear heart-shaped sunglasses but these are SO darn cute! I tried them on immediately and they complement my face shape and actually look really good. I can’t wait to wear these!

Peruse Review July 2022 – Final Thoughts

I’m tempted to say that this is one of my favourite Peruse boxes to date. The book choice is great as it is one that I was wanting to read, and the items pair with it perfectly. I love the “It Girl” theme with the sparkly emergency kit, Bombshell chocolate, oversized bath bomb, and of course the super chic sunglasses. I really think they did an amazing job. Oh….and we also received extra goodies like a bookmark, signed bookplate, 2 recipes and discussion questions. They create a fun unboxing/reading experience which I very much appreciate.
